"The Rogerenes: First Whites in Roxbury Township"
-- Part of Rootsweb, this page contains an excerpt from The History of Morris County, describing a Rogerene settlement in colonial New Jersey. "... [I]n the vicinage of Lake Hopatcong..., locally known as Mountain Pond, ...and upon its shores and in the adjacent valleys were the abodes of forty or more families of a religious sect called Rogerenes, who came from the vicinity of New London, Connecticut, where their peculiarities of belief and conduct had provoked... persecution... [M]any families of the sect organized a colony and with their little ones and cattle set out upon a tedious and toilsome march, through a country much of which was then a trackless wilderness"
